Patrick GREHAN

Dad was a quiet man, often sitting off to the side, but always mindful of his family around him. He had advice when you needed it, opinion when you asked, and love overflowing.

From a young man, marrying his forever sweetheart in Ireland, they built the beginning of a future in England and eventually on to London Ontario. In his later years he moved to Winnipeg to settle once again with family, together.

A stalwart man who loved life, loved sports, from hurly to golf to lawn darts in the back yard. He loved adventure, camping was a great way to travel and see new places, many friends made along the way. His laughter was infectious, kindness abound, and family meant everything to him. His family blossomed and grew to five generations in his lifetime. All of us proud to call him Dad, Grandad, Great and even Great Great Grandad. You will be forever in our hearts, finding our footing under your guidance and the path you set in motion. RIP Dad, we love you!

Carmel, Eric, Colette and family: I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Keeping you all in my heart and saying prayers for peace and comfort to you all. As you said, Des was a quiet man but I remember he always had a welcoming smile that brightened up a room and a wonderful sense of humour. I have always remembered this about him. My mom called me as soon as she heard and I know she and my dad are also keeping you all in their prayers during this difficult time. Godspeed Des on your new journey.

To Carmel, Eric, Colette and family. So sorry to hear about the loss of Des. We appreciated the friendliness and humour he showed whenever we met him. We have many memories of Des up at Bayfield.
Thinking of you,
Jerry, Maureen, James and Patrick Jablonski
